The Glass and the Doer Within

Neville's Inner Vision

I stand with the words of James and hear a noble truth, yet if I do not live from that truth I become forgetful of my real self—the I AM momentarily dimmed by passing thoughts. The glass is my own mind, a mirror of my current state of consciousness; what I behold persists only as long as I remain consciously present with it. To hear without doing is to walk away from the image and let it fade, so I must revise by assuming the state of the man I would be and dwelling there until the feeling is real. When I imagine the truth as now, the inner image and outer expression align; words become deeds, and the world reflects that alignment. Therefore, the practice is not to resist appearances but to treat every truth as a signal to inhabit a new consciousness—feeling the wish fulfilled and living from that conviction in every moment. In this way, the inner image ceases to be lost in the glass and becomes the living of my day.
